This discussion question is in two parts

1. Imagine that you live in a formerly socialist country and that the health system is soon to be opened to private investment. Which kinds of regulatory mechanisms might be put in place to optimize efficiency and equity?

2.Consider which kind of health planning takes place in a country known to you. How successful is it? Which major health needs exist that are not met? Can you identify an expenditure that is of lower priority than these unmet identified needs? How could health planning be improved? Give references that support your answer both questions
